Majestic Flora

Majestic Flora is an exuberant bridal lehenga set that brings together a sculptural bejeweled corset, intricately embroidered printed raw silk lehenga and an extraordinary braided tissue dupatta. Rich in color, texture and artisanal detail, the ensemble layers traditional embroidery with dimensional metalwork, crystals, sequins, gota and dori to create a couture composition reminiscent of an intricately crafted floral tapestry.

A celebration of maximalist craftsmanship, Majestic Flora is designed to reveal a new detail at every glance. The metallic corset creates a striking focal point against delicately crystal-strewn net, while hours of embroidery and hand embellishment transform the printed raw silk lehenga into a richly dimensional surface. The cascading braided dupatta completes the ensemble as a statement piece in its own right.

Signature Highlights

• The Bejeweled Corset: The bust is constructed as a dramatic jewel-encrusted corset, featuring substantial metallic jewel elements that are individually twisted, shaped and positioned across the bust. Their sculptural placement creates the effect of jewelry formed directly onto the body.
• The Crystal Net Neckline: Sheer net detailing extends above the jeweled bust, forming an illusionary off-shoulder cutline. Scattered crystals illuminate the neckline while maintaining the delicacy and transparency of the net.
• The Jeweled Hangings: Directly beneath the bejeweled bust, delicate hanging elements trace the edge of the corset, adding movement and creating a fluid transition from the structured blouse into the voluminous lehenga.
• The Embroidered Raw Silk Lehenga: Crafted from printed raw silk, the lehenga undergoes hours of intricate embroidery. Dori and gota detailing, combined with multiple embroidery techniques, builds upon the printed motifs to create an exceptionally rich three-dimensional effect.
• The Layered Hand Embellishment: Over the embroidered base, the lehenga is further enriched with meticulous hand embellishment. Crystals, sequins and an array of gold-toned materials and metallic details are layered throughout, transforming the surface into an elaborate interplay of color, texture and light.
• The Braided Tissue Dupatta: The statement dupatta is constructed from multiple strands of tissue that are individually twisted and intertwined into elaborate braids. This unconventional technique transforms the traditional dupatta into a sculptural couture element.
• The Cascading Details: Mirror-detailed hangings and ornamental motifs are incorporated throughout the tissue braids. Their varying placement and lengths allow them to cascade freely from the dupatta, creating dramatic movement and complementing the dimensional craftsmanship of the lehenga.
• Heritage Couture Finish: The combination of printed raw silk, dori, gota, sculptural metal jewels, crystals, sequins, mirror work and intricately braided tissue brings together a multitude of traditional techniques within a contemporary couture composition.

Designer Note

“With Majestic Flora, I wanted to explore craftsmanship without restraint. The lehenga begins with print, but layer after layer of embroidery, dori, gota and hand embellishment transforms it into something almost three-dimensional. I wanted the corset to feel like jewelry sculpted directly onto the body, while the braided tissue dupatta breaks away from traditional construction entirely. Its twisted braids, mirrors, motifs and cascading details bring movement to a piece that is designed to feel like wearable art.”
